SUMMARY:Wayne Morse Gala: Keynote Jaime Harrison
DESCRIPTION:12th Annual Virtual Wayne Morse Gala\nFeaturing DNC Chair Jaime Harrison and Senator Ron Wyden \n“In 2013\, Jaime was elected the first African American chair of the South Carolina Democratic Party\, a position he held until 2017\, when he was appointed by DNC Chair Tom Perez as an Associate Chair of the DNC. In 2020\, Jaime ran for the U.S. Senate from South Carolina\, building a national grassroots movement and setting a fundraising record for the most raised by a Senate candidate. He was elected DNC Chair in January 2021. \nDemocrats commit to year-round grassroots infrastructure and compete everywhere\, we can win\, and that victories in tough areas don’t come easily or quickly\, but are the achievement of countless organizers\, brilliant leaders\, and investments in state parties — the frontlines of our fight. As DNC Chair\, he’s turning those beliefs into action.” \nFriday\, June 4th 5:30 pm

SUMMARY:#NoWar2021 Virtual Global Conference
DESCRIPTION:World BEYOND War’s #NoWar2021 conference is going virtual! Join us this June 4-6\, 2021. View the detailed schedule and read the bios for our outstanding speakers.\n#NoWar2021 is a unique event that brings together a global grassroots coalition of individuals and organizations around the topic of CANSEC and the global arms trade. As North America’s largest weapons expo\, CANSEC typically brings together 12\,000+ government and military officials and weapons industry reps from 55 countries to Ottawa each year. Due to the coronavirus pandemic and pressure from our coalition\, CANSEC 2020-2021 has been postponed to 2022. But that doesn’t mean our work is over. We’re demanding the permanent cancellation of CANSEC and also drawing attention to the fact that CANSEC is a symptom of a larger problem – Canada’s and the world’s complicity in the global arms trade and the institution of war. \nInstead of pouring trillions into weaponry\, the world must invest in a just recovery from the pandemic and a green new deal that includes a just transition for arms industry workers. #NoWar2021 will bring together key international allies to not only assist Canadian efforts to permanently #CancelCANSEC but also to share expertise from similar campaigns worldwide in the global struggle for war abolition. \nPanels\, discussion groups\, workshops\, and trainings will cover a range of topics\, such as: how to shut down a weapons expo\, weapons in space\, the global arms trade\, war’s environmental footprint\, divestment\, digital storytelling\, nonviolent civil resistance\, and more.

SUMMARY:Representing Radicals: CLDC Webinar
DESCRIPTION:May 23\, 2021\n2:00 p.m. PT — 3:30 p.m. PT \nWebinar–information provided upon registration \n\n\n\nRegister HERE on Eventbrite\nAre you or your comrades facing criminal charges related to your political actions or associations? Are you having trouble communicating with your lawyer about your political principles\, legal goals\, or personal priorities? Or\, are you an attorney representing activists and unsure of how to work with them? \nJoin us for a presentation from the Tilted Scales Collective on key points from their new book\, Representing Radicals\, with additional insight from Lauren Regan\, executive director of the Civil Liberties Defense Center (CLDC). \nRepresenting Radicals helps lawyers understand ways to work with radical defendants\, with an explicit focus on how to help them achieve ends that go beyond traditional legal goals. The book can be a useful bridge for radicals when they are working alongside a legal team. In this presentation\, they will explore what it means to take a movement perspective when handling criminal charges and how defendants and lawyers can work in partnership to the benefit of movements. \nRepresenting Radicals is a follow-up to the Tilted Scales Collective’s first book\, A Tilted Guide to Being a Defendant. \nThe Tilted Scales Collective works with radical defendants and movement lawyers to fight state repression. They are anarchist legal workers who have spent years organizing in solidarity with defendants fighting their charges and with prisoners fighting for their dignity and lives. Their organizing has included being part of defense committees for defendants facing state repression\, conducting webinars and trainings for groups of defendants\, and collaborating with other groups to engage the criminal legal system in ways that can advance radical struggles. Find out more at tiltedscalescollective.org or @_TiltedScales (Instagram/Twitter). \nYou can learn more about Representing Radicals\, or buy a copy\, here. \nReserve your ticket for this event and we’ll send livestream details on the day of the event. Tickets are available either free or by donation\, and all ticket donations will be given to the (CLDC).

SUMMARY:Nakba Tour: Live Stories from Palestinian Women
DESCRIPTION:On May 1st\, at 10 a.m. Pacific Time\, Jewish Voices for Peace Los Angeles is having a unique live zoom event with four young Palestinian women from the refugee camps in Lebanon.  These are the descendants of Palestinians expelled by Zionist paramilitary gangs in 1948 who are still living the harsh legacy of al-Nakba (the Catastrophe).  These young women represent the 3rd and 4th generations of Palestinians living as stateless refugees in Lebanon because Israel and the United States refuse to recognize their right to return to their homes in Palestine.\n\nWe’ll have the opportunity to hear their own deeply moving personal accounts of their every day lives\, fraught as they are with severe discrimination in every area of public life in Lebanon\, but also buoyed by the belief that one day they will return to their homeland in freedom and equality.  This is an important story that Israel does not want told precisely because it will inspire people of good will everywhere to be active for justice for Palestinians.\n\nRegister for the event here:  bit.ly/JVPLA-NakbaTour\nFor more information on the young speakers\, visit:  www.nakbatour.com  \n\nPlease join us and our co-sponsors for this event:\nJVP – Central Ohio\nJVP – Cleveland\nJVP – Hudson Valley\nJVP – Northern New Jersey\nJVP – Portland\nJVP – Rogue Valley\nJVP – San Diego\nJVP – Tucson\n&\nAl-Awda: The Palestine Right to Return Coalition\nAmerican Muslims for Palestine\, SoCal\nJews for Palestinian Right of Return\nLA4Palestine\nPeople for Palestinian-Israeli Justice\nUnited Church of Christ Palestine/Israel Network
